The restaurant serves many large parties. The arrival of large groups -- a relatively frequent occurrence -- can overwhelm the small waiting area. The area is understaffed, so the restaurant's first impression is not positive.

I’ve been here a few times, and each time just I’m reminded why I should not come back. Service was OK, nothing special but not bad. Food in my opinion is subpar. I keep wishing they will get better, as I like this location and Brazilian BBQ. I favorite has always been the first at Churrascaria in NYC. Salad bar is kind of small with fewer selection compared even just to local rivalry Texas de Brazil.

The food was not great, the steak by the time they get to us, its cold & is hard to chew! Also, for the price there is not a whole lot of selections! The manager was loud, she was cooing the customer’s dog and my golly…

We have celebrated at Fogo many times, typically on the weekends. This time we went on a Monday. We were immediately seated and enjoyed having less of a crowd. However, we noticed the wait time for meat was longer than on busy days, many due to less servers. Overall, we still had a great experience and enjoyed our complimentary birthday dessert!

Experience and food was great. Waited 20 min after reservation time to be seated for a party of 5. This was disappointing. The tables were also just two tables pushed together. For the money spent and having a reservation having to wait 20 minutes for two tables thrown together gives me second thoughts on going again and wondering why I made a reservation in the first place.
